Event 9 (Flight A): Always The "Ladies Champ"

Event 9 ($350 No Limit Hold'em $300,000 Guarantee)
Level 4 (Blinds 100/200)
Total Day 1A Entries: 40


Ellen Lambeth (Charlotte, NC) and Marsha Wolak (Pompano Beach, FL)

We've seen a lot of success from the ladies this series, and with Marsha Wolak (Pompano Beach, FL) in the field, we could see more.  Marsha is a Florida-based poker pro with over $597,000 in career tournament earnings.  Marsha's resume got it's start in 2010, but it didn't get kickstarted until the 2011 World Series Of Poker.  Wolak would win her first (and only) WSOP bracelet, taking down the $1,000 No Limit Hold'em Ladies Event ($192,344).  It's been a steady rise for Wolak since then, accruing numerous five-figure scores, including a $70,000 cash just three weeks ago during the $2,500 NLH Championship Event at Coconut Creek (4th place).  

Marsha's neighbor at the table is also a formidable tournament player, as Ellen Lambeth (Charlotte, NC) brings a resume boasting over $107,000 in career earnings to the felt.  Lambeth's cashes have been primarily in WSOP Circuit events, with her highlighting score coming during last year's WSOPC Main at Palm Beach Kennel Club (6th place - $25,095).  The two ladies were all smiles for the camera, but bring a very serious side to the table when the photo shutters aren't around.
